Nickel Tree in Deep Blue, Treasure Tree Collection
Deep in the forests of New Caledonia, trees suck nickel from the soil and bleed it out in the form of glowing, robin’s egg blue sap. These remarkable trees, known as hyperaccumulators, remove nickel from the land in which they grow, making the earth more hospitable for other plant life. The trees can then be tapped for their nickel content, thereby yielding a valuable metal element key to the production of stainless steel, electric car batteries and solar energy technologies. Nickel Tree features hyperaccumulators such as Pycnandra Acuminata and Geissois Pruinosa, and a wide variety of fauna, from the Cloven Feathered Dove to the Euploea Sylvester butterfly, that share their habitat.
Nickel Tree’s metallic color way and layout are inspired by German “Dutch Gilt” papers, nineteenth century embossed metallic designs, known as “picture sheets” for their narrative series of vignettes.
